After spending some time looking for a plugin to do this, I was amazed to see how easy it was to get a smooth scrolling effect using one line of jQuery. You can use this inside of any callback function. It works especially well with click.
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#elementID").offset().top
}, 2000);
Although LocalScroll is good for more advanced applications, this snippet is useful for one-time use applications. Simply adjust #elementID and 2000 to set the element and duration, respectively.
